ResumoThe electron density distribution, total electron content in a flux tube and downward transport of flux of ionization at low latitudes are derived using the whistlers recorded during storm period at low-latitude stations Varanasi (geomag. lat 14°55'N), Nainital (geomag. lat. 19°1'N) and Gulmarg (geomag. lat. 24°10'N) in the Indian sector. The computed electron densities, electron tube contents (10 13 el/cm 2 tube) and downward fluxes (10 9 el/cm 2 s) are in good agreement with the results reported by other workers. It is shown that the downward transported fluw increases with the increase in magnetic activity
